Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and an awesome Halloween! There’s still time to enter our Beyond the Backyard x Westcott Giveaway on our Facebook Page, so be sure to enter if you haven’t yet. Winner will be announced on Wednesday!

It’s time to start off the week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring one of our newest collections from our Fall 2014 Launch, Heavy Metal by Jackie McFee for Camelot Fabrics. This collection is just as the name suggests, full of pretty metallic prints and designs. Heavy Metal includes a beautiful mix of silver and gold geometrics including chevrons, hexagonal prints, stars, dots, and animal prints. This metallic-infused collection would bring some pizzazz to any outfit, whether as a shift dress or a foldover clutch. As well, how about a glam quilt? We love the idea of a metallic quilt, perfect for a posh bed quilt or as wall decor.

Samuji‘s Spring RTW 2015 Collection brought about lots of bold colors and prints in fun Spring and Summer-inspired cuts. Intense patterns were subdued with more feminine silhouettes, neutral colors, and an Asian influence. We especially adored the use of metallics in his collection, which were reminiscent of our Heavy Metal by Jackie McFee collection. We love this simple, but classic shift dress done in a metallic chevron print. You can see the rest of Samuji’s collection here. Such a majestic, but feminine collection.

We hope you have been inspired by this week’s Moody Monday! Be sure to check out the rest of our Heavy Metal collection, and all the associated free projects, on our website. Have a fantastic day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!

Fall Quilt Market was last week and we had the best time! It was wonderful getting to meet so many of you. Thank you for the all the amazing comments on our newest collections. We also sold FQ bundles for the first time this QM, and it was a hit! As well, we introduced our newest artist Alisse Courter. This QM was truly one for the books!!

In the heart of reminiscing of Fall QM, we are sharing some pictures of our booth. We received so many lovely comments on our booth setup. We also wanted to take the time to thank all our incredible project designers for creating and sewing up projects for us. Our booth would not have been half as beautiful without all your hard work and creative talent. Thank you!!

Sharing more of our Fall 2014 Collections with you today! With the turn of autumn, our nights have unfortunately become longer. But, we’re ones to stay optimistic and like to look for the little pleasures in things, such as the illuminating moon and pretty stars that freckle the midnight sky. Our Heavy Metal by Jackie McFee Collection does just that; this collection instantly adds that extra bit of sparkle to any project. Heavy Metal is our stunning metallic-printed collection that, complete with its modern geo patterns, looks so luxurious and glam! Add some instant pizzazz to a living space with metallic patterned pillows or tabbed curtains. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous and on-trend, make your own Heavy Metal party dress and foldover wedding clutch for your next night on the town!

There is just something so pretty and glamorous about metallic. Even a touch of it in a living space livens up everything, and makes everything feel so much more expensive and luxe. We love the idea of a metallic-printed fabric quilt, such as our Crossroads by Harding Hill Designs Quilt. Such a great statement piece!

We hope this metallic-printed collection has added some glam to your day! We’d love to know what you think about our Heavy Metal by Jackie McFee Collection. What would you create with this collection? Stay tuned for more!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!! We hope you all are having a wonderful day so far. It’s the last day to enter our Neon & On FQB Giveaway this week, so be sure to head on over to our Facebook Page to enter!

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring one of our exclusive quilt designs from our Free Projects Program – our Chevron Arrows Quilt by From Marta With Love. Marta from From Marta With Love created this absolutely stunning, modern quilt for us that we absolutely adore – it’s an art piece in itself that can be showcased on your favorite couch or bed, or even to decorate a blank wall. We love the perpendicular feel of the chevron arrows, giving this quilt a unique and festive look that is perfect with both contemporary or more modern fabric designs.

We decided to use our Singin’ the Blues by Jackie McFee Collection and the striking blue hues look fantastic with this quilt. PS: Thank you Marta for the wonderful quilt design; you are such a talented designer and it’s been a pleasure collaborating with you. Be sure to check out more from Marta on her blog.

If you’d like to make your very own Chevron Arrows Quilt, you are in luck! Today we are showcasing the full, free tutorial on our blog…but you can also find the pattern PDF HERE. Click MORE to see the full tutorial!
